Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method comprising: detecting a wireless access point at a device; causing a wireless access point notification to be presented for the wireless access point as a graphical object on a display of the device; receiving input to the graphical object to disable future wireless access point notifications for the wireless access point; and storing wireless access point information indicating that wireless access point notifications are disabled for the wireless access point, where the method is performed by one or more processors.

2

2. A method comprising: detecting a first wireless access point at a device; determining whether access point notifications for the first wireless access point have been disabled; preventing presenting an access point notification for the first wireless access point when access point notifications have been disabled for the first wireless access point; detecting a second wireless access point at the device; determining whether access point notifications for the second wireless access point have been disabled; and causing an access point notification for the second wireless access point to be presented when access point notifications have not been disabled for the second wireless access point, where the method is performed by one or more processors.

3

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: storing access point information that identifies one or more wireless access points for which wireless access point notifications have been disabled; and determining whether access point notifications for the first wireless access point have been disabled based on the access point information.

4

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising displaying a listing of detected wireless access points, wherein the listing includes the second wireless access point, but does not include the first wireless access point.

5

5. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes: detecting a wireless access point at a device; presenting a wireless access point notification for the wireless access point as a graphical object on a display of the device; receiving input to the graphical object to disable future wireless access point notifications for the wireless access point; and storing wireless access point information indicating that wireless access point notifications are disabled for the wireless access point.

6

6. A system comprising: at least one processor; and a computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes: detecting a wireless access point at a device; presenting a wireless access point notification for the wireless access point as a graphical object on a display of the device; receiving input to the graphical object to disable future wireless access point notifications for the wireless access point; and storing wireless access point information indicating that wireless access point notifications are disabled for the wireless access point.

7

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions, executable by one or more processors to: detect a first wireless access point at a device; determine whether access point notifications for the first wireless access point have been disabled; prevent presenting an access point notification for the first wireless access point when access point notifications have been disabled for the first wireless access point; detect a second wireless access point at the device; determine whether access point notifications for the second wireless access point have been disabled; and cause an access point notification for the second wireless access point to be presented when access point notifications have not been disabled for the second wireless access point, where the method is performed by one or more processors.

8

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further executable to: store access point information that identifies one or more wireless access points for which wireless access point notifications have been disabled; and determine whether access point notifications for the first wireless access point have been disabled based on the access point information.

9

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further executable to: display a listing of detected wireless access points, wherein the listing includes the second wireless access point, but does not include the first wireless access point.

10

10. A system comprising: at least one processor; and a computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions, executable by the at least one processor to: detect a first wireless access point at a device; determine whether access point notifications for the first wireless access point have been disabled; prevent presenting an access point notification for the first wireless access point when access point notifications have been disabled for the first wireless access point; detect a second wireless access point at the device; determine whether access point notifications for the second wireless access point have been disabled; and cause an access point notification for the second wireless access point to be presented when access point notifications have not been disabled for the second wireless access point, where the method is performed by one or more processors.

11

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable to: store access point information that identifies one or more wireless access points for which wireless access point notifications have been disabled; and determine whether access point notifications for the first wireless access point have been disabled based on the access point information.

12

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable to: display a listing of detected wireless access points, wherein the listing includes the second wireless access point, but does not include the first wireless access point.
